If by this point you haven't heard of Outlander, you've been living under a rock. I'm not going to add anything meaningful in my review here that hasn't been said before.

I really enjoyed this! I listened to it as an audiobook and the parts that would've probably been tedious in book form still worked well that way. I'm up to season 5? 6? now and I really just wanted to go back to the Claire and Jamie of season 1 for some time <3

I took multiple breaks and listened to whole other audiobooks during this and I think that's how I didn't end up hating it 🙈 It is very long (obviously) but it is also very good. The writing is excellent and Claire is such a good main character.

Would recommend, even if you've already watched the series :) I still enjoyed it a lot

This book was so exciting and interesting to read. I could not put it down while I was reading, and even though the book was ~600 pages long, it felt like it was such a quick read because it was so captivating. It brought up a lot of complex emotions which I really appreciated (although maybe I felt them more deeply at this time in my life than I would have if I were in a different place emotionally/romantically). Almost every character had aspects to them that felt so deep, complicated, and human. My only issue with this story (and I’m not sure if issue is the right word) is that it felt like any characters who were not hetero were more strongly associated with negative (or outright evil) personality traits. I think this is most likely due to the historical time period and character lens of the story, but it was something that stuck out to me towards the end of the book in a way I didn’t like. There were some very violent and emotional scenes that were difficult to read, but I also think that these moments added to how realistic and complicated the story felt. Overall, I really loved this book. I laughed out loud while reading, cried so many times, and was completely swept away by the characters and their world.
